The palatable appetizers and seafood of the Aegean cuisine are now right next to us. An Aegean Tavern, ROKA PERA in Taksim, which was opened in 2014 to replace Da Vittorio’ in Pera, impresses people even as they pass by and enters into it. It has a simple but warm decoration that attracts attention.
It is possible for you to sigh to have a pleasant meal there one evening, without even realizing that it is a very precious menu that combines so many different and dizzying flavors…
However, the pleasure you will experience while tasting the delicacies on the menu is much more than the decoration, the ambiance,. Of the cold starters, wrapped leaves with cherry and olive oil, Izmir warm eggplant with Tulum cheese, sea beans with walnuts and beetroot are the ones that left the most impression on me.. Indispensable for Middle Eastern cuisine, the tabule grilled tabby version was a brave but successful effort.
Grilled squid stuffed with Aegean herbs and curd cheeseeven though it is visually MUH-TE-ŞEM, grilled octopus is one step ahead in taste. Ok, cooked octopus with right of acceptance is always one click ahead of other seafood for me.
Aegean herb pastry refreshing taste is a good combination among seafood. forgetting. Marinated grilled sardines wrapped in vine leaves are also on the table for the second time to enjoy wrapping.. Curtain pilaf style is really creative inseafood pilaf knitted with sea bass.
Roka Pera is another favorite of Aegean flavors. It has also added flavors from the Bosnian cuisine, which is a kitchen.. Grilled smoked Bosnian sausage and melted cheese casserole is a successful combination. Smoked dried Bosnian meat on paper, on the other hand, deserves to be included in the category of orgasmic tastes.. Shrimp and calamari stew with meat, dipped in water, then peeled. Grilled meatballs PLESKAVITSA, at least in Sarajevo and Skopje’ te as successful as I’ve ever eaten…
Sliced thinner than the crispy zucchini with tahini and walnuts in the finale, its crispiness and flavor are riveted. The fresh curd cream accompanied by black mulberry jam is a good example of the delight of the sour-sweet balance of milk desserts with sour fruits.
When I look at it, I can’t help but ask if I ate so much.. So, it is eaten when it is delicious, it is good when it works 🙂
Prices are at reasonable levels according to tastes. Cold starters are 15, hot starters are 20, main courses are 30-40 in the range of TL. Do yourself a favor, taste these flavors that crack the palate in the peaceful ambiance of Roka Pera, and have a nice evening where you will remember the saying ‘There is no happiness in life, there are happy moments’.
